1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise,
And stay not for the morrow’s sun:
The longer wisdom you despise,
The harder is she to be won.
2 O hasten mercy to implore,
And stay not for the morrow’s sun,
For fear thy season should be o’er,
Before this evening’s course be run.
3 Hasten, O sinner, to return,
And stay not for the morrow’s sun,
For fear thy lamp should fail to burn,
Before the needful work is done.
4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest,
And stay not for the morrow’s sun,
For fear the curse should thee arrest,
Before the morrow is begun.
